May 16/05 10:52 am - Ontario Cup DH #1

It rained all night before the race but that didn't dampen spirits for the first Ontario Cup DH race of the year, in fact we broke the attendance record!!

Congrats to all of you for breaking the O-Cup DH attendance record, the old record was 203, we shattered it with 226!!!!!!!!

From all the feedback I'm glad everyone had a great time. I think the course held together pretty good considering the downpour the night before, lots of people seemed to havin' a great time and that's what it's all about.

It was great to see the muddy faces, twisted bikes, team tents and Kris the MC whuppin it up!

The race saw some light rain fall right before the expert and elite fields which made things a little more slick than it was for the bulk of the field before them and resulted in a few more crashes. But it was two wily veterans who took the elite fields with Eric Cseff stomping the men and Sheila Morris squeeking by for top spot.

Thanks to all for showing up and supporting our sport. I look forward to seeing you all at the Saugeen 4X race June 4th, if you have never been to a 4X make this race, racing shoulder to shoulder with your buddies is so much fun!! Everyone is guaranteed 3 heats of racing and there is plenty of practice time in the moring to dial the course in.

I remember last year at the Hardwood duel, there were so many people who told me they weren't sure if they were going to do the race but afterwards they told me they'd never miss it again, so much fun and lots of stories and carnage!!
